PDX Creative Coders

November 21, 2014

Heads up! This blog post hasn't been updated in over 2 years. CodePen is an ever changing place, so if this post references features, you're probably better off checking the docs. Get in touch with support if you have further questions.

Uncontext is an art project where any collaborator can access an unending stream of structured—but seemingly random—data. Use this data it to generate art, write poems, control robots, or anything else.

Essentially you open a WebSocket with it and it streams random data at you:

On November 9th, a group of coders and artists gathered for the release of a new uncontext. data stream. Over 7 hours, they made generative art in the form of music, animations, 3D printing, portraits, and abstract renderings. And the data was even used to control Super Mario Bros.
